Ferrokinesis-the ability to manipulate metal Warning:may cause death and levitation of nearby frogs

"do you hear that, Charles?!" 😂😂😂

6:30 So Magneto could just turn anybody into a mutant anyway? He didn’t need that machine in the first movie?

That honestly makes Magneto even. More terrifying, the idea that he could be so powerful he could manipulate anything at an atomic level.

I love how powerful some characters are when you put a realistic spin on it. Just with one simple sounding ability like control over magnetic fields they become as powerful as the strongest shit in our universe.

I always thought it was silly writing in that movie to have Magneto in a plastic cell as a means of preventing him from escaping. His magnetic powers should have enabled him to attract metal from hundreds of miles away so no prison on earth should have been able to hold him. Some sort of power damping device would have made a lot more sense.

According to lore he can 'control' AND 'manipulate' magnetic fields. so he may not be applying a uniform magnetic field to extract the iron from the blood. Seeing as he is near/omega level, he may be able to oscillate and/or direct the field to only interact with the molecules in the blood.

No, no, no and no. Our bodies are great at hoovering up iron when it's in the Fe (II) or Fe (III) oxidation states; but abysmally poor at converting Fe (0) (i.e., iron metal) into a water-soluble form. That process you assume to occur would take months, not merely a couple of hours. Since the injection Mystique applied was grey, not green or red, we know that the iron was indeed in the form of iron metal. We also know that it was in sufficiently small particles that it remained suspended in whatever carrier fluid Mystique used. Since Mystique needed the guard to be fit for work the next day, let's assume it was dextro-saline solution. On this basis, the iron suspension would easily mix with blood in any of the myriad capillaries in the gluteus maximus muscle. Thus, magneto didn't need to be neutron-star strong. The injected iron in the guard's blood would have been as nano-scale particles of metallic iron.

*YOU HEAR THAT CHARLES?! ITS NAMED AFTER ME, MAGNE-*

the most epic " Because science " line ever !

...Obviously, he got the line wrong, it was supposed to be "too much iron in your butt"...

Personally, I think Marvel missed a golden opportunity when they named the X-Men's archvillain "Magneto" instead of "Magento". Magento could be a supervillain who can make anything change color to hot-pink, including Wolverine's adamantium claws, causing him to question his masculinity and suffer a complete emotional breakdown.

Or... Mystique could have injected the guard with iron nanopallets coated with a bio-compatible coating. the iron would not react with the blood, and still move through the body

“Oh yeah and he’ll have a heart attack” no big deal 😂😂😂

Still this has left me with one question. What if the iron injected into the guard wasn't pure iron, but instead an iron compound that doesn't react with the body. The magnetic field created by Magneto should be able to extract it as long as the compound is magnetic and does not react to human cells. Right? What that compound consists of? No idea, I'm no chemist.

Magnetokinesis: Magneto has a near-limitless control of all forms of magnetism, whether natural or artificial, to manipulate any metal. He can manipulate magnetic fields at the planetary level. Generating Magnetic Force Fields: He is able to generate a forcefield capable of repelling forces equivalent to a nuclear attack. He has successfully defended himself against Thor and his hammer Mjolnir, Iron Man's impressive array of weapons and the wielders of the Phoenix force. He has single-handedly fought against entire teams of heroes and villains. Magnetic Flight: By connecting himself to the magnetic field of the Earth, Magneto is capable of flight at supersonic speeds. He can also repel himself against the metals in the surface of a planet if the planet has no intrinsic magnetic field. Molecular matter manipulation: His magnetic field manipulations are so powerful he can reorder the molecular structure of matter by manipulating the electromagnetic force bonds. His control of his magnetic powers is so precise, he can manipulate the iron in a human's blood, causing aneurysms, strokes or heart attacks. He is even able to create a magnetic field strong enough to suppress the power of thought by suppressing the brain's electromagnetic field. It is likely the same magnetic field which makes him more resistant to psionic abilities. This is not an all inclusive list of Magneto's powers, it is designed to simply give you a matter of comparison against a device such as an MRI machine; there is NO CONTEST.

*The "Kyle is wrong!" FAQ* 1. At 4:05 I say 10,000. It's 100,000 as written. My bad. 2. I didn't consider the iron injected into the guard to be anything other than iron injected into the blood because Magneto says "too much iron in the blood," and some sci-fi nanoparticle thing is giving this film too much credit, I think. 3. The experiment I showed used PIG's blood, not human blood. Another misspeak. Sorry. (UPDATING) -- KH

"Butt Iron" -- that could be a good band name.

Doesn't that mean that Risotto is about as powerful as magneto?

This video makes this magneto 100× more scarier than I thought it would!!!

*They call me the Master of Magnetism. That moniker describes but a fraction of my capabilities.*

Best part of this one: random interjections of YA HEAR THAT CHARLES?

*_"GO, GO MY ENVOYS OF BUTT IRON - DESTROY CHARLES!"_*

6:23 Best damn line in the show

Me and my friend watching this. Friend: "Why would he make this video? Doesnt this just ruin movies for people who watch this show?" Me: "Analyzing different senses from movies and dissecting what would really happen is magnitudes more fun than just taking the movie at face value." Friend:"I dont get it." Me: "I dont't get you."

I don't think Magneto is actually magnetic. Since he can manipulate non-magnetic materials, I think it more applies to some sort of Metal-Specific telekinesis. How else would he be able to catch (non-magnetic) bullets?

This was absolutely great! I was laughing hysterically at the visuals, as you described them. You just earned a follower.

"Everything is now the same, except a nearby frog is now levitating." This sounds like a Douglas Adams quote!

That butt iron bit made me laugh so much that I had to explain myself to nearby co-workers! So good.

Bloodbending anyone?

"... Oh and he might have a heart attack.” 😂😂😂

*"Too much iron in your butt"* - Smartboi Thor, 2019

"Lifts a entire stadium" Me:...i think he has enough power

Can you do a video on Dr. Manhattan and how Powerful his powers are?

I work at an iron foundry as an iron pourer.. Its amazing how much I get of this. Thanks for the info... Keep up the good work

LOVE THIS! I'm using it in my science class. I actually had someone ask me if it was possible when we were talking about magnetism, so now I can provide an answer.

Why do people only stick with magneto's powers as displayed in the film and disregard all the powers he has displayed in the mainline comics. HE CAN BREATH IS SPACE AND FIRE SELF-MADE MAGNETIC REPULSOR BLASTS ALONG WITH MANIPULATING *ANY* METAL!

He is the living embodiment of the UNIFIED FIELD Theory

Gotta respect the way you use the scienciness to tackle the really important questions! 💖

>pulling iron out of blood Jojo reference confirmed.

If Magneto could create magnetic fields equivalent to a neutron star, could he affect the infinity stones?

Wait, what? Did he just thank me for watching or was he talking to Magneto? Freaked me out a bit to hear him say thank you for watching Eric (or Erik). Anyway I like the theory that the goo was just some ferromagnetic compound that didn't integrate with the body and the blood is just the particles covered in blood. Although, when asked how powerful Magneto is, the old Marvel Handbook used to say "While not as powerful as the Silver Surfer in his prime, Magneto's power is for all practical purposes limitless."

I love this guy.. I have learned so much from this show. Awesome job...

This video has the BEST version of the the closing line "Because Science"

I've always thought it wasn't Iron per se, but instead some kind of Ferric compound such as Maghemite, or even nano-/micro-particles of iron with some kind of coating to stop it chemically reacting. I'm not sure what that would do to the maths though.

Best because science I've ever seen

One of your funniest episodes to date, guys! Awesome delivery, Kyle!

Wow, I know so little about what you were talking about that I was just astounded by the amount of specialized knowledge you presented. I would say it was brilliant, but honestly from the top of my head I could confirm or deny little of what you said. Still, it seemed to make sense -like I know what a neutron star is -kinda. Finally, just wanted to say that Magneto has always been my favorite mutant so thanks for the exposition it was awesome, like Magneto.

"That sweet butt iron" LOL

Keep in mind Magneto can't just create magnetic feilds, he can also control them. So at the very least he should be able to manipulate the magnetic field so it only affects the area around the guard & nowhere else.

I love this show. Seriously. Please keep doing it!

This show is really funny as well as informative. Good work.

always assumed the metallic compound to be magnetite nanoparticles with a hydrophilic covering. but that's just me...

I think I have a solution! How about the iron mystique gave the guard didn't have the chance to bond with proteins in the body yet, so that would leave free iron which would require much less teslas. Another thing is maybe the spheres are empty inside so it would require much less volume of iron. But then, that wouldn't be epic lol

Super awesome. Helped me bridge a lesson on History and Chemistry with my homeschooler. Rewatching X-men was bonus!

The best episode... From your channel. I've had watch all of your episode from 18,02 to 24,02,2019

What if Iron Mans suit was made from Butt Iron? Would he be *Butt Iron Man* ? ? ? ? ?

Space 1999 moon Exodus please.

VEry well done, awesome man keep it up!!!

I always assumed that the butt-iron was in some sort of mad-"science" suspension liquid that let it float through the body without getting incorporated, since... well as you pointed out. If you can pull iron out of the blood, you can manipulate glass. Still, it's nice hearing exactly how absurd extracting iron from the blood is.

I am magnetized to the screen :D

I think, since Magneto has such a precise control over magnetic fields, he targeted the individual iron atoms, and built the balls that way.

Love these videos! Love the art! Love your hair! :D

“You hear that Charles!”

If most of the Iron was stuck in the guards but, could he just rip that out, and if doing so why not spread it around the guards body a little to levitate his, then rip it out of his body for dramatic effect?

This video was worth watching just to hear you say "butt iron" so many times.

that was awesome. thank you, kyle

This is still one of my favourite episodes

I think the next question is obvious. Can we ever make mutagen ooze just like kranks from tmnt?🔬🔭

I feel like you are forgetting that magneto made a entire planet

I don't know why but I found this video so funny that I was short on breath. That earns a my subscription.

I've been tuning in for a bunch of your stuff...gracias for making science fun with a common solution to explaining it. Educational at level 10. I still wanted to see the guy walking on a train now they're able to fight and walk like it's nothing unless you've done it already.

Could you please look int-o the Warhammer 40k Universe and do some Because Sience from there? That would be interesting to watch.

Pls do if tf2’s rocket jump possible and wat tech or armor would we need to handle the blast force from rocket jumping

great episode

That explains the flashes I've been seeing when I go through some of the rooms in the building I work in

this is too cool.

it would be so much cooler to just puppet someone using the iron in their blood. straight up puppetmaster.

Thanks Kyle. You are the comic book editor I always wanted. Pruno

Iron not only binds to hemoglobin (which is the most commonly thought of binding protein), but also binds to 2 other very important proteins: ferritin and transferrin. Ferritin is basically the body's reserve for iron and transferrin help transfer the body's iron stores to wherever it needs the iron. While I know this off the top of my head, I don't know if these two proteins also use the heme molecule to bind them, but if they don't, then this could alter the amount of energy required. Also, your body can only produce so much hemoglobin, transferrin, and ferritin. After a certain amount, iron may fully saturate all of those binding sites and simply accumulate in joints (as seen in hemochromatosis). Just a tid-bit of extra information :P .

but what if he doesn't create just general magnetic fields, what if he not only can increase magnetic fields, but also focus it to certain areas, shapes, or objects. Because he can move metal also in a telekinetic way, so he must be able to move and shape his magnetic influence.

But what if it wasn't iron but(t) another, more magnetic metal that doesn't do chemistry with blood and was only injected by Mystique? :p

I loved how you cut yourself short at 6:22😂😂

First I really enjoyed your vid, truly fun to watch. I have a question, what if is the compound injected in the guard body isn't assimilated/digested but it stays in ferromagnetic iron as a coloid in his blood? This idea comes from the movie, you can see little balls going out through wound from inside out that finally form into the big three. I think would be possible to have a magnetic coloid in the blood, do you?

#ButtIronResponsibly

I'm Eric and I'm finally subscribing. lol.

Neat point about adverse biological effects while moving in strong magnetic fields - I was curious about the dynamics involved with combat with a fictional character that could generate a magnetic field comparable to a magnetar, even if a similarly absurd opponent could withstand the whole, getting shredded into atomic micro-needles bit.

I love these videos!!!

Luckily Magneto doesn't actually use magnetism to manipulate metal. So we're probably fine...

Lol lije that one time magneto sucked all the metal out of that gaurds blood stream. Or like ripped all the adamantium from wolverines bones. Hes a pretty op character

in a related video, you could work out how much power Magneto has from the opening scenes of X-Men when Magneto is being carried away from his parents. He bends gates etc. Given the inverse square rules his magnetic power would be pretty weak, so if he's bending metal at that range... well...

one thing left out which is that magneto controls the size and shape of magnetic fields as well which means when he generates magnetic forces it doesn't leak outside the fields

#ICantBeliveItsNotButtIron

"I still need that sweet butt iron."

1:50 that image is burned into my head now

"except, a frog that was near by is now levitating..." lol!

I assume he created his fields over only the iron itself in stead of his entire body

@Nerdist So in Pacific Rim they say "a hunter could fight a hurricane and win", so my question : is this in any way possible?

At 7:56 it was stated that everyone within a 2000 km radius is dead, but not necessarily, if magneto wanted to produce a magnetic field of that strength he could manipulate the magnetic flux density in such a way that it would only affect a certain small area like where the guard is.

God I love watching these videos in the dark on an AMOLED. So trippy .
